Our Makers’ Children is a play on the possessive. All religions, less philosophies such as Confucianism, claim exclusive relation to the divine. The possessive play draws attention to this absurdity. If there were such things as right and wrong in this sense, it is much more likely that they are all wrong than one being right. The poem brings to light the propensity of humans to disregard objective logic in favor of convenient fiction in order to perpetuate internal biases. Participating in exclusion allows one to feel closer to a smaller subset of righteousness. The poem reminds us at what cost we perpetuate our own righteousness.
